As I indicated before, the UCI talk (October 27) on U.S.-Vietnam Relations

by U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Michael Marine and the Q&A are posted as an

mp3 audio file online at:

http://webfiles.uci.edu/dtsang/audio/Ad051027.mp3.

In his talk, he said the U.S. recognized the Socialist Republic of Vietnam

and not the "other" flag.

My 1999 article on the origins of the other flag

appears here:

Scars and Stripes? What's Behind Those Yellow Flags in Little Saigon?

http://www.ocweekly.com/ink/99/26/news-tsang.php

He also said bilateral relations should not be held hostage by any one

issue.

He did mention on his visit to the UCI Southeast Asian Archive that he

couldn't find a good one-volume history of Vietnam. Any suggestions?
